The Bathroom Door

When my daughter bought her house many years ago, the bathroom door had a textured glass panel in the middle and one day she asked me to make a curtain to cover the glass.

We chose to make an underwater scene.

and found photos of different fish.

This was going to be my first attempt at applique, hand and machine.

I just used the fabrics I had on hand and the background has now faded to a vague wishy washy colour although, clear to see, I never used a pretty green or blue, but the sea bed was a lovely yellow which you now just have to imagine.

I have no photo of the curtain hanging on the door which has long been replaced, just the sad one below, spread on a table
.

Must get working on my Halloween stitching, way behind as always. Thank you for passing by.

I can't help but smile when I look at your amazing underwater applique. Your first attempt at applique.....really?? Wow, I am impressed. This wonderful piece has lasted the sands of time, hasn't it. It is filled with lovely whimsical, sea creatures!
